Lessons From Jurassic Park

"I spared no expense." - John Hammond.

Well, almost no expense.

For those unfamiliar with Jurassic Park, I feel sorry for you, but I will still fill you in.

John Hammond was the millionaire,(maybe billionaire) serial theme park builder. Jurassic Park was his most extravagant one: a theme park filled with real, live dinosaurs. However, he only had one programmer in charge of the computer systems on the entire island... and this programmer felt like he was grossly underpaid, so he shut down the entire island to steal dinosaur eggs for someone paying him better.

He got eaten.

So did many others... those damn raptors.

So what have we learned?

  1. Don't get cheap on your people.
  2. Don't have have any person operating without checks and balances.
  3. Don't surround yourself with shiesty folks.
  4. Most importantly, if you do manage to recreate dinosaurs, let the raptors stay extinct.
